I know there have been a few threads about this, but i thought i’d start an updated one, as there are a lot more of the lower/slacker geo style frames around. I’ve just found a crack on my Yeti SB66 frame, so i’m thinking it’s time to shift to a new frame.
Cash flow dictates that it would smart to use my existing kit on a new frame, so i’d be interested to know if anyone has done this successfully and avoided pedal strikes from a slack, low BB, for example.
I would be running 160mm 26″ forks and 2.35 tyres. I’m looking for a 150/160mm -ish frame. Ideally it would be something with 142×12 rear, tapered headtube and threaded BB as well as sensible bearing sizes and robust build. Currently the Banshee and Transition options are looking the best ones, but i’d be interested to hear of others!
